EVOLUȚII ENERGETICE RECENTE PE CONTINENTUL EUROPEAN. SCURTĂ REFERIRE LA ROMÂNIA

Abstract

The year 2020 writes a page of history for the nations of the world, characterized by the fight against a factor that affects human life and its normal evolution. The Covid-19 pandemic came as a shock to health and economic systems, putting states and international organizations in the exceptional position to develop quick and effective measures for protecting the population and recovering the economy. The impact of this health crisis was also felt in the energy sector where significant decreases in energy demand, prices, and investments were recorded. The present study will refer to the direction of European and Romanian energy policy in recent years, with emphasis on the critical period we are going through. We will observe the current status of climate targets, using the latest statistical data, the interests of diversifying supply routes, but also the medium and long-term perspectives in the field.
